JCPenney has confirmed the closure of several store locations across eight states in 2025 as part of its ongoing efforts to streamline operations and adjust to market challenges. The company, which has been struggling in the evolving retail landscape, has cited lease issues and financial difficulties as reasons for shutting down these locations.

The closures are expected to be completed by May 2025, with liquidation sales already underway at many stores, offering discounts of up to 50%. This latest round of closures has raised concerns about the future of shopping malls, as losing anchor tenants like JCPenney could significantly impact foot traffic for smaller retailers.

Which JCPenney's stores are closing across the US?

According to Axios and Newsweek, citing data from business consultancy SB360, these are the stores set to close this year.

California

  • The Shops at Tanforan, 1122 El Camino Real, San Bruno

Colorado

  • The Shops at Northfield, 8568 E 49th Avenue, Denver

Idaho

  • Pine Ridge Mall, 4201 Yellowstone Avenue, Pocatello

Kansas

  • West Ridge Mall, 1821 SW Wanamaker Road, Topeka

Maryland

  • Charleston Town Center, 401 Lee Street E, Charleston

Why is JCPenney closing more stores?

JCPenney, once a dominant force in U.S. retail, has struggled with declining foot traffic, lease negotiations, and competition from online retailers. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2020, leading to 175 store closures between 2020 and 2021 as part of a broader restructuring strategy.

Despite efforts to revive sales, traditional department stores face ongoing challenges due to e-commerce growth and shifting shopping habits. Experts estimate that around 45,000 brick-and-mortar stores could close across the U.S. within the next five years, highlighting the struggles of physical retail.
